"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've been dating this girl for about 6 months, and she's been my girlfriend for three weeks (approaching one month). I wanted to do something small, and unexpected to let her know I remembered the day we became official. (Kind of gay, but she totally won't expect it, considering I don't do gifts.) My thought was to buy ONE flower (probably lilacs, because she hates roses) and leave a small card saying, "You've been blessed for one month, baby. Count your lucky stars." Or something to that effect. I haven't really thought it through. Commentary?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Dude, it's only been one month. I could understand if it were her idea, but you doing it comes off as desperate. Just slow down and have fun. You can show her you want her around without giving her a gift for being your gf every month. I say wait till you've been with her a year and then do something really special.

The odd romantic gesture doesn't hurt, but a month of being in a relationship really doesn't warrant it. What are you going to do when two months pass? Three months pass? Get this ridiculous notion out of your noggin mate and just enjoy the "honeymoon" period of the relationship, there will be enough time to get serious later on as the relationship progresses.

That's not even romance :p

Matty, how does she knows that you don't give gifts, within a month? If you get her one in the first month she'll know the opposite! :)

As Energizer said what are you gonna buy her 2-3 months after? He is absolutely right! You can simply remind her that it's been a month since you got together and kiss her! Nothin more...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Say, 'Wow its been a month since we got together. Here's something special.' Then, play around a little with her face, cheeks, neck with ur lips and then give her the kiss of her life. She will never forget u if done properly.

You know what's great for a one month anniversary?

Anal sex. Remind her that its been a month that you've allowed her the grace of your prescence, and that she's welcome to wear something sexy to bed to thank you. Think Fredricks, not VS.

Damnit, doesn't anyone hear understand that YOU are the prize?

Good intentions but honestly I think it screams AFC, if anything take her out on a date doing something you guys never done before.

No dice, champ. This is your AFC poking through.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
